How to:
After |
Before |
- I removed the shine with a knife, you can do it with sandpaper too however I put on finish to protect the paint which created a shine either way. (optional)
- Draw out the "GOOD NIGHT" onto your bat. I used the font "Georgia" in Microsoft word to get my template, I traced them onto paper and got my desired size (you can print it out). Cut out the letters and taped the sheet to bat.
- Now paint it red, I added shading using black paint but that's optional.
- Then I outlined the letters with a black marker.
- Drew and painted on the blue and red diamond triangles, and the black line above and under. (Don't have the rest of the picture >.<)
- I torn around 1 inch wide strands of white fabric (ripping it made it look more torn and used) rapped it round the bottom of the bat and secured it with fabric glue.
- Then to make it look used and old you can literally rub you hands in dirt and then onto the bat or use brown paint and add shading.
- The words written, I used a black marker and wrote out the lullaby sang by Harley in one of the games http://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s480x480/e35/c81.0.645.645/13712749_600991550075204_1149888102_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=MTMwMjI5NTEwMDI1NjE5ODgxNg%3D%3D.2.c , I had space left so I just wrote in a quote "You lock up the weirdos, the crooks and the geeks! Your a hero to all of the boys in blue, But this time, puddin, the joke's on YOU!"
- And to finish it i went around a couple words in red marker, not any specific all random and added mod podge to protect the paint.
For reference Images, I used a variety I found on google especially screenshots from the movie.
